Molly founded Spirito! in the spring of 2008 and rehearsals began the following September with an ensemble of fifty high school treble singers. Molly created a training ensemble for fifth through eighth grade girls the following year incorporating repertoire and a five level comprehensive music theory curriculum. An adult men's ensemble also emerged. A passion for choral music, a great love of working with singers of all ages and tremendous support from the communities which Spirito! serves has enabled Spirito! to blossom into five rehearsal ensembles and 246 singers.
